Colts HC Shane Steichen Could Draw Interest If Fired

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen could attract significant interest across the NFL if he is dismissed, according to a report by ESPN's Stephen Holder. Steichen's future has come under scrutiny following the franchise's decision to fire general manager Chris Ballard. Holder reported that an executive from a team with a head coaching vacancy during the last hiring cycle considered Steichen a top target had he been let go after 2025.

Steichen has compiled a 27-30 record without a playoff appearance during his tenure with Indianapolis. Despite this record, league figures reportedly view him as a strong coach in a difficult situation, pointing out that he has started eight different quarterbacks while managing an underperforming roster.
